Congratulations to our authors for all of their hard work and dedication!
UJEMI+ Vol. 7 is officially published and available on our website! Check out ujemi.microbiology.ubc.ca to read them. UJEMI (non-refereed) Vol. 26 and UJEMI Perspectives Vol. 1 are also available
The countdown is on for the publication of our Fall 2021 issues of UJEMI, UJEMI+ and UJEMI Perspectives! Check out ujemi.microbiology.ubc.ca/about_ujemi to learn more about our different publications
Our graduate student editors are hard at work putting together our Fall 2021 issue of UJEMI, UJEMI+ and UJEMI Perspectives! 💻📚 Stay tuned for more updates and to find out when our issues are published
Happy Friday! Meet Marica Graves - @marcia_lynn - one of our fabulous faculty advisors!
📢 Grad students & post-docs! We have an opportunity for you to learn about reviewing manuscripts! Our goal is to educate undergrad authors and guide them through a peer-review process. We are looking for reviewers with some experience in microbiome research, Qiime2 and R.
Meet Stefanie - @microstef - Junior Editor this year for UJEMI!
UJEMI is still seeking reviewers for our Fall 2021 edition of UJEMI+, our peer-reviewed publication. This is a great opportunity for grad students to gain experience reviewing manuscripts and evaluating independent, original research conducted by undergrads!
This week our editor profile is on Brianne - @newmaann, the mysterious person behind this twitter account! 👋
Today we wanted to show you a glimpse behind the scenes so you can meet Daniela - @dl_modu, our Senior Editor this year at UJEMI!
ICYMI - UJEMI+ is a peer-reviewed edition of UJEMI that uses single-blind peer review giving undergrad authors an understanding of the peer review process as well as verifying the findings published. UJEMI seeks to publish original research while fostering undergrad mentorship
We are looking for reviewers for our next issue of UJEMI+. We want grad students & post-docs to review original research articles written by undergraduates. Please DM us or email Daniela - [email protected] if you are interested & have experience in metagenomics/microbiomes✍️
In 2020, Soroski et al. (bit.ly/Soroski) found that addition of Stevia to cultures of E. coli MG1655 does not impact important biofilm formation or growth except at very high concentrations which are likely not physiologically relevant🍬Check out jemi.microbiology.ubc.ca
Our submission deadline is May 15th - we are accepting submissions from UBC students as well as external submissions for publication in Fall 2021. DM us here or email Daniela at [email protected] if you have inquiries or are interested in reviewing for us.
May 15th is almost here! Make sure you submit your manuscript by the deadline! Check jemi.microbiology.ubc.ca/%3Cnolink%3E/s… for submission guidelines
